Thank you @GOPDoctors. We appreciate your efforts to ensure Congress takes action on this vital, bipartisan legislation to support physicians and protect patient access to needed #cancer care.
This week, the GOP Doctors Caucus endorsed the Medicare Patient Access and Practice Stabilization Act, legislation that reforms the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule to support physicians and protect access to the high-quality care Medicare beneficiaries deserve. Read more below:

As WREG looks into illnesses affecting those across the Mid-South, they are also looking to a recent grant awarded to West and @uthsc to study factors affecting #breastcancer outcomes among African-American women in the Mid-South.

In memory of 6 million men, women and children who were murdered just because they were Jewish. To commemorate the Holocaust and its victims, we must speak out against antisemitism today. In the face of darkness, be the light. #NeverForget #YomHaShoah

1/ Hamas terrorists used my family and hundreds of our neighbors as human shields. #Hamas continues to hold the people of #Gaza captive. There should be no reconstruction of my family's home while a stockpile of weapons lies underneath. time.com/6693896/hamas-tunne…

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The *actual* Gypsy Kings singing a Spanish cover of Israel’s national anthem in solidarity with the Jewish state. Really gives your heart a lift, today of all days!

I had the honor of delivering the annual MLK sermon at Central Synagogue. My speech touches on a range of topics and themes: October 7th, Jim Crow, Leo Frank, MLK, Elie Wiesel, silence, indifference, moral clarity, nonviolence, Israel, Am Yisrael Chai, Hatikvah, and hope.

On October 7th, Israeli cyclist Tomer Shpirer was tragically ambushed and killed by Hamas terrorists. He was later identified by the IPT jersey he was wearing. This evening, his six-year-old daughter Bar lit the Hanukkah candles while wearing her late father's favorite jersey. Happy Hanukkah, Bar. We will always remember your dad.

Listen to @Penn student Eyal Yakoby. Magill has to go now.
"I should not be here today...I should be taking in...my senior year of college...I am because 36 hours ago, I, along with most of campus, sought refuge in our rooms as classmates and professors chanted proudly for the genocide of Jews. " - @Penn student Eyal Yakoby

Almost every Jew you know is just one, maybe two degrees of separation from someone who has been killed, kidnapped, raped, or is currently in battle. Think about that next time you pontificate from your comfortable couches armed with nothing more than a Wikipedia level knowledge of the conflict.
